The final result was out. There were a total of two hundred and sixty-four slaves. One hundred and twenty-two of them were willing to join the Infernal Fire, while the other ninety-two were willing to go home.
People's thoughts would change. In the beginning, most of the slaves did not dare to leave. However, as more and more slaves joined the Infernal Fire and more and more of them wanted to go home, some of them changed their minds and decided to leave.
Did the remaining fifty slaves really just want to be slaves? Actually, that was not the case. They just felt that the City of Sin was invincible. If they left with the Infernal Fire, they would only have a change of master. Therefore, they might as well save themselves some trouble and stay as slaves to their original masters.
In the end, these slaves did not believe that the Infernal Fire could really save them.
Being a slave also had its benefits. First of all, slaves were property. Since they were property, of course, they had to be treated with care.
At least they would not starve to death after becoming a slave, and their safety was guaranteed. For example, even if strange beasts came, the masters would think of ways to chase them away. The slaves only had to work. They did not have to worry about fighting with other villages for survival resources. They did not have to worry about starving to death due to natural disasters. If they were sick, they could be treated. Think about it, even if livestock were sick, they could be treated by a veterinarian. Slaves, who had more uses, were naturally more important property and would be taken care of by their masters.
Therefore, it was normal that some slaves did not want to leave. There was no need to make a fuss.
"Boss, the things have been distributed. There are many people who are willing to join the Wasteland Army. There are already a lot of supplies in the cart, so it can't take many people. I arranged for two people to take them away on foot. When the supplies arrive, the camp will send a cart to pick them up."
After Wang Ke finished speaking, Gao Qi nodded and said, "Hmm, that's good."
"The houses of those Wastelanders who wanted to go home were all burned down, but there are abandoned villages everywhere. It's not hard to find a place to live. Speaking of which, these people who wanted to leave were quite interesting. They were originally from two villages. When the slave raiders found them, they surrendered without any resistance. Therefore, none of them died. Now they want to form a new village. I asked them to leave overnight because they move too slowly. If they leave after dawn, they might be caught by the slave raiders again."
"That's right. Let them leave at night. What about the rest?"
"Leave the things behind. The chains won't be unlocked. Let them go back to the garage. We'll see how the slave-raiders treat them tomorrow."
"Alright, let them fend for themselves."
Everything that needed to be done was done. Basically, there was no need for Gao Qi to take care of it. Wang Ke handled things very clearly.
Looking at his watch, it was already past two in the morning. Gao Qi yawned and said, "Arrange for people to take turns to be on guard and rest until dawn. After dawn, we will leave this place."
Wang Ke said in a low voice, "Boss, we have a lot less manpower. Should we pick some people from the slaves to replenish our manpower?"
"No, I don't want any other slaves except Mark."
Wang Ke hesitated for a moment before asking, "Boss, can I ask what we're going to do next?"
"What are you doing? Hmm, let's walk along the road. The farms in the City of Sin are all along the road. We have many targets to attack. Let's continue like this. "
Wang Ke nodded and said in a low voice, "I guessed that's what you were planning to do. But Boss, if we attack those farms during the day, it won't be so … convenient."
"That's right. That's why we're mainly attacking at night. During the day, we'll find a place to hide and rest. Hmm, what are you trying to say?"
Wang Ke lowered his voice and said, "I think that since we're mainly attacking at night and resting during the day, now is the best time. I've asked around. Some of the slaves were transferred over from other farms. The nearest farm is only 40 kilometers away. Now that we have the tram, it'll only take us an hour to get there by car."
Gao Qi looked at Wang Ke in surprise and said, "Not bad. You've gotten into the role of a general so quickly? You're starting to plan how to fight. "
Wang Ke smiled bitterly and said, "I just feel that since we're going to fight sooner or later, we might as well catch the enemy off guard when they're completely unprepared."
Gao Qi thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The farms are definitely connected to the City of Sin. Have you found out how? Through radio or telephone?"
"There are radio and telephone. If the enemy wants to leak information, then the City of Sin should already know that we've taken over this place. Here's what I'm thinking. We'll drive the tram to the nearest farm and say that we escaped from here. Let's see if we can take the opportunity to sneak in. If we can, it'll save us a lot of trouble."
Gao Qi really didn't realize that Wang Ke was such a bold person. He always thought that Wang Ke was very steady, organized, and pleasant to the ears. In short, other than his father's mathematics, he was a million times better than his father in everything else.
But now, it seemed that Wang Ke might have gone astray. He shouldn't have become an engineer, but a general.
"I can't tell that you're so bold. We'll do as you say. Now, we'll cook and rest for an hour before we set off. Also, don't call me boss in the future. Call me captain. Also, you're now the vice-captain of the Hellfire Commandos."
He couldn't discourage his subordinates. Even if Wang Ke's plan had a low chance of success, Gao Qi still had to support him.
A general's success was built on thousands of bones. Whether it was success or failure, as long as he experienced it, it was good.
Wang Ke was stunned and said, "Vice-captain? Uh, oh, okay. Uh, salute! "
Wang Ke saluted very inappropriately. Gao Qi stretched out his hand, but after his hand froze in mid-air, he patted Vanke's shoulder and said, "Go do your work."
Wang Ke turned and hurried away. At this time, Anna finally whispered, "Are you done talking? If you're done, come with me. "
Gao Qi was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"
Anna pursed her lips and took Gao Qi's hand. After taking a few steps to the side, she said in a low voice, "The toilet is too smelly, and it's too dark outside. Come with me to the toilet."
Gao Qi was stunned because he didn't feel that his relationship with Anna was close to the point where he could accompany her to the toilet.
Anna sighed helplessly, then said with a sad face, "I really don't know why I'm accompanying you. I can't think of any reason for me to follow you around in the wilderness. The most troublesome thing is … I'm running out of toilet paper. Even if there's no automatic toilet, you should at least find me some toilet paper."
Gao Qi felt that Anna was a little irritable and abnormal, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Anna reached out and pressed her forehead, standing still. After a while, she took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. I'm fine. Wait for me here. Don't peek or eavesdrop."
